It is an eight day holiday, of which the first two days are treated much
like a Sabbath, e.g. no work, no driving, etc.
The holiday begins at sundown Monday (Jewish days always begin and end in
the evening) with the traditional Seder ritual feast. Observant Jews also
have a second seder on the second night.
As you may know, Passover celebrates the exodus from bondage in Egypt by
the people of Israel.

The NYC alternate-side-parking calendar* says that's an eight-day
holiday that starts next Tuesday, the 19th. Care to clarify?

*For non-New Yorkers: The city doesn't send the machines through to
sweep the gutters on holidays of any of the three major religions (among
other occasions). Hence, parked cars need not be removed from those
areas during certain hours on certain days of the week, as they would
otherwise.
